Slate has a fascinating article here on how food companies calculate what a “serving” is. I particularly noted this item, in the comments:
I remember once picking up a muffin in a convenience store and looking at the fat content. I was surprised to discover that it had only 10 grams of fat. But then I noticed something that made me laugh: this single, ordinary sized muffin was described as three servings. Yeah... one muffin = 3 servings. A pretty underhanded way to try and disguise the fact that the muffin had 30 grams of fat and not 10.
This fourth week of January is National Meat Week and also National Irish Coffee Week. Yesterday was, in descending order of healthiness and WW-compatibility, National Granola Bar Day, National Cheese Lovers’ Day, and National Buttercrunch Day -- you can find information about buttercrunch, and exactly how to differentiate it from toffee, here. And at least one person here, and I know who, will be actively celebrating National Peanut Butter Day on Sunday, the 24th.
The days:
January 20th: National Granola Bar Day, National Cheese Lovers' Day, National Buttercrunch Day
January 21st: New England Clam Chowder Day
January 22nd: National Blonde Brownie Day
January 23rd: National Rhubarb Pie Day
January 24th: National Peanut Butter Day
January 25th: National Irish Coffee Day
January 26th: National Pistachio Day
January 27th: Chocolate Cake Day
